This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to simpler fish recipes in the future.

The fish was a little dry, but the flavors were great. I think I'll try cooking it in a parchment paper packet next time.

This recipe was a little too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a very spicy harissa. Otherwise, it was a great recipe and I would definitely make it again with a milder harissa.
